Election: It's the Cat People vs. the Dog Lovers Written by Burt Prelutsky Sunday, August 15, 2004
All the pundits who are forecasting the November election, busily analyzing blue states, red states, and those all-important purple swing states, are spinning their wheels. At the risk of sounding even more presumptuous than usual, I contend that they are wasting their time and yours. If you want to know who's going to emerge victorious, all you really need to do is find out how many people have cats living with them and how many have dogs. The cat people, I have decided, will go overwhelmingly for Kerry; the dog lovers will do the same for Bush. It isn't simply that women, who often prefer felines to canines, tend to vote Democratic. It really goes to the nature of the animals........

I just can't pass this thread up. My Black Lab Bart is a Republican and unlike Kerry, he KNOWS how to hunt!
Not only that, he fetches trout after I hook them with a dry fly. Here is his 2004 Election banner.

While it's true that the Democrats have registered my cat as a voter, she has never actually gone to vote, because, as a Republican, she recognizes that it would be against the law.
To: GaretGarrett
In fact, the only apparent difference I can distinguish between Kerry and a cat is the latters ability to clean itself with its tongue. But, Im taking nothing for granted. For the next few months, Im definitely keeping my eye peeled for hairballs.I love it!

On one married with children show bud was using seven to try to get girls.
He was fussing about seven approaching a guy carrying a cat and singing show tunes.

I think this has been written about before, perhaps when Bill Clinton (and Socks) were elected. This may be why the star-crossed Buddy was installed... er purchased... er adopted.

I know Kerry loves to put his mouth on them.
To: GaretGarrett
I've got no cats. I do have two labs, one black and one chocolate
Diversity doncha know
Adorning the Entry Hall mantel are the pets of President George W. Bush and Laura Bush. The Bushes' cat, India "Willie" Bush, and Spot, their English Springer Spaniel, have been part of the Bush pet clan for more than a decade. Barney Bush, a Scottish terrier, was a birthday gift from the President to Mrs. Bush in 2000.

I don't have any pest but I throw rocks at the stinky pigeons out side my winodw, and geckos and roaches are always stopping by.
word to the wise if u have masters keep them away from kissing Kerry

[Your post nicely illustrates the absurdity of this article. I've seen similar dog vs. cat musings from people over the years and not one of them was based on any actual polling data. One such was a theory from John Podesta that "Democrats are dog people. Republicans are cat people."
As usual, the only generalization that's true is that all generalizations are false.]
Gulliver, you sound as purse-mouthed as Eleanor Clift. Go to eBay & see if you can't buy a sense of humor. I just wanted to give Freepers a chance to show off their animal pictures.
(I will say categorically that every Kucinich/Nader supporter I know has a houseful of cats. Most of them are also Wiccans, BTW. (I mean the humans; can't be sure about their cats.)
